challenging economic times is to stifle innovative thinking and asking people to delay innovation would be asking the cherry trees in washington to delay blooming. it's exactly that innovation that holds the potential, not just for the families whose lives it will change but also for new jobs and business opportunities. the president understands this implicitly. he knows the importance of connecting scientific advances with solid science and epknows the power of partnership and that's -- he knows the prur of partnership and that's why he has brought us here today. science, leaders in the private -- >> you've been listening live, once again, to the brain research initiative happening right now at the white house in washington, d.c. president obama is heading this initiative, this talk. we'll be talking to -- you can

see him there as the camera pans over. this is about promoting jobs and the middle class. this is something that he's decided to focus on as he unveils a decades' long project about the inner workings of the brain and to answer questions about epilepsy, alzheimer's and other diseases. let's listen in. >> his incredible leadership at nih. those of you who know francis know he's quite a gifted singer and musician. i was asking if he was gonna be willing to sing the introduction. he declined. but his leadership has been extraordinary and i'm glad i've been promoted to scientist in chief, given my grades in physics, i'm not sure it's deserving. [laughter] >> but i -- i hold science in

proper esteem. maybe that gives me a little credit. today, i've invited some of the smartest people in the country, some of the most imaginative people in the country, some very smart people to talk about the challenge i issued in my state of the union address. >> president obama, once again, speaking live about this new brain initiative that he is -- that he's spearheading. the initial cost, $100 billion. it's in the proposed fiscal year budget for 2014. we're gone continue to monitor this and we'll have more coming up shortly here on "mornings on 2." meanwhile, one year ago today, a gunman walked into a oikos university in oakland and killed seven people. tara moriarty is at the school to tell us about the special events planned in memory of the victims. good morning, tara. >> reporter: good morning.

many family members of the victims will be having their own private services at local cemeteries. as far as the university goes, they are planning two concerts, one this saturday in oakland and the other one, april 13th in sacramento to remember the victims. now, this morning, we noticed there were flowers adorning the front steps of the school here on edgewater drive and seven rocks symbolize the seven killed here. authorities say they were gunned down by 43-year-old one goe. he pleaded not guilty to the killing. but he has confined to a psychiatric hospital in napa after a judge? january found him incompetent to stand trial. victims' family say this has changed their thinking on legislation. experts say a new bill wouldn't

have prevented the shooting since the suspect's guns were bought legally at the time. he had no mental history and no restraining orders based on domestic violence. those are three of the four classifications of people who are prohibited from buying firearms in california. but this new bill would create another layer in the process to purchase ammo. a dealer would have to report the sale to the state. so the purchase would be much more difficult. the room where the massacre happened stands empty. we don't know if anybody will show up to classeses today, given it is the one-year anniversary. if they do, we will, of course, talk to them and see how they feel about safety at the university one year later. live from oaklanding i'm tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news -- live from oakland, i'm tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. and in an hour from now, the nra will announce its plan for preventing school shootings. coming up at 7:15, the

trouble. paul, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, brian. now, the bolts it's been reported there's no room to add new ones. engineers are coming up with a plan to make it happen. it's being reported that they are testing a few bolts at a lab. they are to hold down steam boxes. caltrans discovered a few of them snapped last month. published reports say before installation, caltrans tested the large bolts which failed. that raised doubt about how they would hold up during an earthquake. still, the engineers okayed the installation. caltrans and dyson tested a portion of the bolts for hardness and to see if they could stretch without breaking. nine of the 14 passed the test but five didn't because hydrogen had been introduced during manufacturing making the bolts brittle. they say caltrans assumed the hydrogen had been eliminated and there was no need to test

for it in 2008. one said he was happy the problem was found but feels caltrans was careless to let it go undetected, becausing tax payers more money. >> it's upsetting they didn't do it properly in the first place. it's gonna cause more delay and more money and more inconvenience for the people that have to commute. >> reporter: caltrans believed the bridge was still open by labor day weekend -- will still open by labor day weekend. however, the cost to fix this, $1 million. live on treasure island, paul chambers, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, paul. 8:32. a fire at a sunnyvale apartment building is under investigation on reba drive near washington and san per san bernardo avenues. it appears everybody got out okay. no one was hurt.

you know, it has not been affecting traffic here as they approach the alum rock exit. let's goen to aerial view -- go to an aerial view. this happened before 6:30, the driver of the truck was coming off the 280 southbound connector trying to get on 101 northbound. the chp says either due to his load or speed, he misjudged the curve and overturned. he was rushed thopt and is suffering -- to the hospital and is suffering minor injuries to his leg. >> he's very lucky. luckily, in other vehicles involved. >> reporter: the crash prompted caltrans to also close the eastbound and the westbound story road onramp to 101. again, you are looking at a live picture of this cement truck on its side. you can see there's debris on the side of the road and there's also oil that was spilled and possibly cement. so caltrans is in charge of the cleanup. again, they are telling me two

to four hours but maybe longer just since the tow truck drivers are having such a difficult time with this. and for more on traffic and what's going on around the bay area, we go to sal. sal, how does this look? >> janine, we're lucky this week, we've had spring break and traffic is lighter than it normally would be through that area as we look at some of the traffic on the road sensors. it's not as bad as it could be. 237 is a little bit slow as you drive through. if you are driving on the montague expressway, it's slow getting into that part of the silicon valley. 880 southbound, we have some slowing as you drive from hayward to fremont, but it could be twice as bad. sometimes we had commutes stretching more than 30 minutes along this road. westbound 92 a little bit of slow traffic on the san mateo bridge heading over to 101. at the bay bridge, we've had some improvement after an earlier crash caused big backups in the 7:00 hour. it's been improfnling here as we -- improving here as we get
